    We could make it a sysctl. For all usual cases it would be no
    slowdown in the critical path, because that part is never hit
    anyways by SYNs without data.

    Nope, ain't gonna happen. Alan in his commentary was trying to hint
    that allowing this to happen can open you to certain DoS attacks.
